My son has been taught NEVER to call the kops, for any reason.
The simple fact that you would entertain the notion speaks loudly.
Be a man and handle it, or don't, but for Heavens sake don't look to government to be a man in your stead.
A great point to hammer home, and that's one way to put it. I used to call the cops, and I still have family and friends that see calling the cops as some sort of solution -I offer my advice on the matters of police as they come up and thoroughly take them through each step of what exactly is happening.
(note to self: stay off of tod evans' grass)


Another way to put it is:
Take the best course of honest action, while not supporting the aggression of others.
What is "manly" about it IMO, is simply stripping away any illusion that poor ideas are going to be any kind substitute for an honest action requiring human contact.
Honest interaction between humans, is not what the current government machine promotes, thus, the state wants you to call it's agents All. The. Time.
Call an uncle, call a neighbor, call anyone for help, but don't call the state.
On Topic-
The fact that there is a discussion about hate speech and the first amendment tells me that the 1st
has not been protected.
Speech is ideas in a tangible medium. Love is an idea, hate of someone, or some
thing is an idea.
The state promotes bad ideas, and not surprisingly, the state wants to tell you which ideas are "bad".
The 1st is selectively protected, by an institution that has no honest use for it.
